00:00 The players of Spain's national football team have broken their silence by saying never

00:06 again. A month after winning the World Cup and one day before facing Sweden and Goetheburg,

00:11 they spoke about the scandal of the forced kiss experienced by Jenny Hermoso and the

00:15 drive they've maintained since then for things to change in Spanish football.

00:19 "The unacceptable events happened, from our point of view, with the drop that hit the

00:27 glass with the subsequent assembly. And we said that this could not happen, that we did

00:34 not want to continue on that path, we wanted that in that situation that our teammate had

00:43 experienced and, well, as a consequence, we had to say that tolerance zero."

00:51 The squad, nicknamed La Roja, has barely trained since winning the World Cup and was on the

00:56 verge of not playing against Sweden, but most of the players lifted their boycott on Wednesday.
